Year Released
2014 - Debuted in set 76020 Knowhere Escape Mission coinciding with the first GOTG movie release.
Rarity
Uncommon. This specific version was exclusive to a single retail set and a SDCC exclusive warbird (sh123 variant).
Head
Unique molded raccoon head with dark brown, white, and black printing. Features goggles printed on the forehead and a growling expression.
Torso
Orange tactical vest printing with tan/sand-green sleeves. Dark brown hands representative of paws. Detailed back printing matching the vest.
Legs
Short orange unprinted legs, representing the character's smaller stature in the MCU.
Accessories
Commonly paired with a large brick-built blaster or a small handgun, though none are pictured here. Also includes a tail piece that attaches between the torso and legs.
Color Scheme
Primary orange with dark brown, white, and tan accents. The orange matches the Ravager-style prison or flight suits from the film.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the molded head and torso. Minimal printing on arms and no printing on the short legs. Alignment is precise.
Variants
Several exist: Red Ravager outfit (sh384), Grey suit (sh548), Blue Team Suit (sh565), and the holiday sweater version.
Condition Notes
The tail piece often causes a small gap between torso and legs that can lead to clutch power issues. Check for paint rub on the nose of the molded head.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $8.00 - $12.00 USD; New/Sealed: $15.00+ USD. Individual head piece is the most valuable component.
Price (New)
Included in set 76020 which retailed for $39.99 USD in 2014.
Compatible Sets
76020 Knowhere Escape Mission and 5002145 Rocket Raccoon Polybag (variant).
Character Background
Subject 89P13, a genetically engineered bounty hunter and member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Voiced by Bradley Cooper in the MCU.
Design Notes
One of the first 'non-standard' head molds for the Marvel line. The head mold has remained consistent for years while torso prints have evolved.
Similar Minifigures
Groot (sh121), Star-Lord (sh120), and subsequent versions of Rocket from Infinity War and Endgame.
Collectibility
High for Marvel fans. As the original 'first movie' version of a core character, it remains a staple for MCU collectors.
History
First introduced in 2014. This version marked LEGO's transition into more complex, movie-accurate character sculpts for non-humanoids.
Interesting Facts
The character was so popular that a slightly modified version was used as a Comic-Con exclusive even before the movie's wide release.
Display Suggestions
Display with the original 2014 Guardians team on a Knowhere-themed baseplate or within the Milano (76021).
Modification Potential
Great for custom Ravager MOCs. The head is compatible with any standard minifigure torso for 'civilian' looks.
Overall Assessment
A foundational Marvel minifigure. Excellent head sculpt and vibrant colors make it a 9/10 for character accuracy in the 2014 era.
